# Metal Saucer #214/202 — Sword & Shield

## Summary

Metal Saucer is an Item that recycled Metal Energy in the early Sword & Shield format, a modest utility role that kept it in a few Metal builds. The gold secret rare slot is what collectors really chase, since a Trainer in that tier is a rarer pull than most binder fillers. The modelled guide sits at $2.54, down 24% over 30 days on 15 copies traded, with 361 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 brings $37, 15 times raw, but a 74% gem rate against $85 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
